Reggaebass Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Don’t know if there’s any certain time but I’ve heard it said that before about 1976 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general rule for Fender guitars and basses would be pre-1970. This is not a legal definition, of course (there is no such definition...). Giving the date of manufacture would be a far more important statement than merely 'vintage'; it may even be wise to not use such a term. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Everyone should know it's 1972, when 50 years old. Did I ever mention I have a 1972 Telecaster Bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) In the antiques / secondhand world; generally something has to be at least 50 years old to be called vintage, and at least 100 years to be antique Edit: beaten to it.........😕 Edited July 1, 2022 by Shaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Vintage', despite its etymology, does not mean 'twenty years' (from the French: vingt = twenty...). Its meaning differs in different markets (vintage cars, vintage furniture, vintage wines, vintage guitars...). Giving the actuel date is far more significant information for instruments.

Fair enough, then I'll clarify - in the context of describing basses, the word "vintage" has been so misused (as in, thrown around like confetti) that I basically ignore it. That doesn't negate my ability to determine what a fair price for an instrument is. This phenomenon is not restricted to basses and guitars. I've seen 5 year old Lego sets with the word "vintage" in their description. Cue much eye rolling and "what-e-ver" from me.* It is possible that the word has evolved to mean "no longer available to buy new"? * - more like yelling "EFFING VINTAGE, ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME? THAT SET HAS GOT STUDLESS PARTS FFS!" at the screen... Edited July 1, 2022 by neepheid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nilorius Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 On the other way, people who want to buy a real vintage Fender can mistake, with no licenced papers and serial that doesn't count. So what You choose - sound and roudworn or oficial docs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
